I spotted a flyer today at Morley Library in Painesville for an event, Tea & Tomes, on Friday, March 16. The event offers tea, snacks and the opportunity to share a mystery or two with the Dial M for Morley Mystery Book Discussion Group. (More information about the event is available here.)

This is the part that captured me: the last line in the invitation is “Please bring your own tea cup.”

I’ve loved libraries all my life, and not just because they feed my reading habit. Libraries help the environment by making books, magazines, DVDs, and even paintings and parlor games available on loan, so people don’t have to buy (and eventually dispose of) them.

And now Morley is even keeping styrofoam cups out of the landfill. My kind of people!
